IPC Registration Update

The registration process with the IPC has now been open for a week. During this time we have asked for clarification on a number of points regarding the registration form.

The following is an update regarding completing the form:

Please note the application form should be completed by each individual – not 1 per household.

The form states a guideline of 500 words. The IPC have clarified this in the following statement -“A representation will not be excluded if it exceeds the 500 word limit but it would assist the examining authority in ensuring that all issues are made known as this will inform a judgement on how the examination will proceed. I would therefore encourage you to state your outline case concisely at this stage.”

The form states – and the IPC has confirmed – that if you do not make reference to a particular point or issue YOU are concerned about at this stage you will not be able to make further representations on that topic at any later stage – including the detailed written account – and/or any hearings.

Please avoid using emotional or colourful language in your submission, The IPC have stated your registration may be rejected or portions redacted if your comments are vexatious or frivolous. How exactly they will judge that is open to question!

The IPC have stated that if your submission is rejected in part or as a whole – you will not be advised until after the registration period has closed and therefore will not be able to re-submit.

If you are completing the form on behalf of a Company – which is a different legal entity than you – the IPC has stated that you are entitled to complete a 2nd form as an individual interested party.
